Now, the Lundbergs address an all too common dilemma that arises when others expect you to solve their problems for them, showing listeners how they can shed the no-win role of 'fixer' and empower people to solve their own problems through validation—a simple yet profound communication tool that is essential to any healthy relationship. Refreshingly straightforward, this inspiring and entertaining work is poised to become a classic guide for anyone who wishes to improve relationships with their partner, children, colleagues, and friends.
